We would write up why we love Koppert Cress oh so much, but don’t know if our words will do them justice.
We’ll let them do the talking.
Here’s their well-stated “Who We Are” :
“Koppert Cress USA is a local Long Island grower and forager of flavor with its origins in Dutch innovative agriculture and greenhouse expertise.
We produce Living Microgreens, Cut Microgreens and Specialties for the Top Restaurant Industry.
Our all natural products and heirloom varieties are grown from seeds sourced around the globe.
The flavors, fragrance and feeling of our collections are extremely unique and attract the likes of many of the most well known chefs.
With over 100.000 square feet of new eco-conscious greenhouses on 50 acres Koppert Cress is one of the fastest growing companies in the area. Using state of the art agricultural practices, we supply both the food service and retail sectors, filling plates with aromatic architecture and vibrancy.
Our greenhouses are located in Riverhead and Cutchogue on the beautiful North Fork of Long Island.
Surrounded by wineries, we are in “the sunniest place in NY State” where agriculture thrives.
We have access to the best beaches and can enjoy all water sports yet we are close to New York City.”

Here’s what people are saying about them:
“At Koppert Cress they are really getting back to the way greens are supposed to taste. By using heirloom varieties and biological crop protection, they deliver obscene flavor bursts to my plate every time. My guests go crazy for how good our greens taste. I literally add nothing but lemon, salt and olive oil to dress them.” -Chef Franklin Becker
